Savages (Wildman) in Yangtze Three Gorges (1)
When you travel in the Shennong Stream and Shennongjia where the Shennong Stream originates, you may also hear about tales about savages. And, if lucky enough, you may even bump into one yourself. The mystery to Shennongjia savages, like the Lake Nios monsters, UFO, and the Bermuda Triangle, was once one of the great sensations throughout the world.

Experts from various countries such as the US and Japan applied for making explorations here. Chinese exploration teams, enjoying more privileges, have made many searches in this forest.
Over 300 reports of meeting savages have been received since 1920. From November, 1976 to October, 1977, as many as over 160 people, among whom are adults, children, officials, and local people, claimed to have met 62 savages on 64 occasions. Face to face encounters include fighting, scrambling, stepping on the foot, struggling for a rod, catching the savage in lasso trap. Some even maintained that they had seen a savage riding on a wild boar. 
(Sorry, we do not have a photo to show you how it looks like -- because there is none up to today, like in other parts of the world where big foot is claimed found.)
